So, producer Bryan Fuller is rebooting The Munsters as an hour long television series. Tentatively called Mockinbird Lane, it's gonna deal with the weirdness in the Munsters little part of the neighborhood.

From what's been announced, it's gonna be a part drama/part comedy/part supernatural series. I liked Fuller's past shows Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies, so I'm a bit tempted with this.

However, they said that the makeup would be 'very toned down' from the original series.

So far, they announced Jerry O'Connell as Herman Munster, Portia De Rossi as Lily, and Eddie Izzard as Grandpa.

I'm kind of intrigued by Jerry O'Connell as Herman Munster. It's one of those casting choices that seems strange at first, but then starts to make sense. At the very least, he's a decent actor, and somebody must have given the matter some thought before choosing him, because he's far from an obvious choice. Overall, the casting choices are interesting.

I get the impression that this show is being taken seriously, and will have a different tone from the original, so I doubt it will turn out anything like the show from the 90s.

I think they shouls hire Butch Patrick to come back and play Eddie Munster. He should wear his old, original Eddie wardrobe and be this dysfunctional 50 year old still living with his parents.

After seeing him on MACARBE THEATER with Ivonna Cadaver, I thought he was....

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.
